"Dust" is a term used to describe the remains of a session (duration of
your choosing) of sifting through your strands in search of split-ends
which you carefully trim off (strand-by-strand) with a sharp pair of
scissors.
Thanks -- will have to study dusting.... I am definitely going to give the hair trimming a rest for awhile --
We have really hard water where I live -- I went out yesterday and got stuff to make it softer (after reading elsewhere in Long Hair Support about negative effects of hard water).
At some point I'll get a real photo instead of my sketch -- I love the way people 'document' hair lengths, styles, conditions by using photos...
Will start a new topic about conditioner, too...

My hair has endured fairly hard water (Florida). Using a diluted
vinegar rinse (about 1 tablespoon in 20 ounces of water) helps rinse
away the minerals and leaves hair feeling softer.

Hairdresser greated me with "I don't like you with greying hair" and I said "I do..." remembering a post about hairdressers and their need to sell something. Looked around and everyone there has colored hair, women in their 60's and 70's - good for them, but not for me. I am so much happier with my long greying locks, it fits who I am much better.
Well, I´m certainly happy I´m not in a profession where selling my craft and my services means having opinions about other people´s appearances and perhaps deflating their self-esteem!

I have hard water where I live and started using a vinegar rinse - 2 Tbls vinegar in 2 Cups of water. It has made a definite difference in the softness and managability of my hair.
My husband thinks it's absolutely ridiculous (but he's mostly bald, so what does he know about hair. *grin*), so I only do this about every two or three weeks when he's not around.
I put water softener pellets in the water softener equipment (novel idea!) and noticed a big difference in my hair (and the dishes in the dishwasher). I know its silly to run out, but I often do...
Nobody sells the pellets here in the village I live in, which seems ridiculous, so I have to load up when I can...I now have 200 lbs in storage, so I shouldn't run out again.

I don't know why I didn't think to mention this before... but you may
also want to get a showerhead filter. I've heard great things
about them and they're inexpensive (about $20) and can be easily
installed.
